Fine Arts majors at Moore share a Sophomore Fine Arts Core curriculum that consists of drawing, painting, and sculpture studies.  Rising juniors choose to concentrate their studies in Fine Arts:2D or Fine Arts:3D.  Throughout the Fine Arts major, ample electives allow for interdisciplinary exploration, while departmental and interdepartmental critiques encourage an open exchange of ideas.

Ceramics, metals, jewelry, and sculpture emphasize the multidisciplinary possibilities inherent in working with a number of media in a variety of forms. Fine Arts:3D accomplishes this through both large and small metal shops, an expanded woodshop, and a ceramics shop.

Beginning with a Fine Arts Sophomore core, students learn the history, tradition, tools, techniques, and materials related to crafting three-dimensional artwork.

Media including clay, plaster, wood, metal, paper, and mixed media are used in the manipulation of space, mass, line, and plane in sculptural form. Elements of time and context are explored through performance, installation and virtual media.

Ample electives allow for interdisciplinary exploration, while departmental and interdepartmental critiques with Two-Dimensional Fine Arts encourage an open exchange of ideas.

While students in their junior and senior years may choose to focus in either ceramics, metals, jewelry, or sculpture, they may also chose an interdisciplinary course of study. The flexible curriculum supports experimentation while providing a solid grounding in 3D disciplines. The success of this program is evident in its graduates’ records of commissions, grants, fellowships, exhibitions, acceptance to graduate schools, and employment in various fine art and commercial fields.
